Al is clear that most traders should aim for a minimum of 1:1 Risk reward.
In the Trends video, he explains that the stop should always go at the start of the trend, or, if the trend has been going for a while, at the last Market Structure High/Low. I don't realize that I'm in a trend until several bars in, and, for small pullback trends, it can be quite a few bars in before I realize what's going on. It's often difficult to structure the trade in such a way as to achieve that 1 to 1 ratio, yet you know that there's a high probability you'll make money. Going back to the trader's equation: in trends, does the higher probability of reward frequently outweigh the under 1 to 1 ratio?
